'''''Omishi Magical Theatre: Risky☆Safety''''' is a particularly [[Needs More Love|underloved]] 1999-2000 [[Anime]] series based on a manga by [[Sorcerer Hunters|Ray]] [[Maze Megaburst Space|Omishi]], which has as its main selling point [[Tastes Like Diabetes|overpowering cuteness]].
Junior-high-schooler Moe Katsuragi is depressed upon seeing her crush with an older girl. The depths of her despair attract a [[Sleep Mode Size|tiny]] [[Shinigami]] named Risky, who will go to great lengths to capture her soul upon death. Risky gets as far as her initial pitch, which causes Moe to laugh... prompting Risky to disappear and the sudden appearance of equally tiny [[Our Angels Are Different|apprentice angel]] Safety. Turns out that the pair [[Sharing a Body|share the body]].
Line 15:
{{quote|'''Risky:''' "I'm a shinigami who's brave enough to follow her ''own'' will! Isn't that the same for ''you,'' Safety?"}}
* [[Big Breasts, Big Deal]]: Suzuko is embarrassed when Kotone tells Moe (in episode 11) that Suzuko's bust measurement is 88-E - that's a North American 35-D. Keep in mind that all three girls are still in junior high school, and thus no older than 14 (and might only be 12).
* [[Big Eater]]: Risky, apparently.
* [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]: ''Moe'', surprisingly enough.
* [[But Now I Must Go]]: {{spoiler|After successfully beating their destinies, Risky and Safety inform Moe that they have to return to their superiors now to await punishment. They vanish, telling her not to cry and that they'll always be friends. They return in the end though, presumably to spend the rest of Moe's life with her.}}
* [[Cultural Cross-Reference]]:
** A shrine kami compares Moe and Yuya's relationship to [[Star Wars|Anakin and Amidala's]]. This gag originated in the Japanese script.
** Additionally, two episode titles are references to the ''[[Austin Powers]]'' series (and the episodes themselves take place at what the angelic location system calls "Point T-[[James Bond|007]]"). Ray Omishi must ''really'' like American movies.
* [[Cute Little Fang]]: Risky has one. Just one.
* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]: For Risky, at least. She receives increasingly-irritated nastygrams from her superiors over her failed scams for Moe's soul. {{spoiler|Averted in the final story arc, where Risky is the first to successfully [[Screw Destiny]].}}
* [[Fan Service Pack]]: Risky is shown in episodes 14 and 15 as being much more... ample.
* [[Flash Forward]]: In-universe, in episode 13. Future-Yuya and future-Moe have time to tell their present selves one short sentence each before they disappear; they use that opportunity to {{spoiler|foreshadow the anime's final story arc - not that it helps any}}.
* [[Form-Fitting Wardrobe]]: Again, Risky. During the aforementioned episodes 14 and 15, her clothing really accentuated her bust.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: For being such a short series, the show has a very impressive cast in both Japanese and English.
Line 33:
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: In one episode, Safety wonders what if she never gets rid of the spell the love arrow has on Lani, and then supposes she might be forced to marry him. She then has a random vision of herself and Lani being married, then to the two of them in a hotel, and then just as the vision stops Safety starts panicking, saying "I don't even want to think about what comes after ''that''!"
* [[Growing the Beard|Growing the Goatee]]: The final six episodes are more serious in tone (though not ''overly'' so), featuring a mythical entity called the [[Because Destiny Says So|Moment of Destiny]] that dramatically alters the leads' personalities, fates, and even their memories.
* [[Genre Shift]]: The [[Fractured Fairy Tale]] which turns into a [[Space Opera]], mentioned below, and one episode even is played out like a
* [[Hilarious Outtakes]]: The DVDs include dubbing out-takes.
** [[Curse Cut Short]]: One out-take has [[Sandy Fox]] messing up her line, and saying, "Aw, cra-!" before it cuts off.
Line 41:
* [[Les Yay]], with a dash of [[Foe Yay]]: There's people who ship Risky and Safety as a couple. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrWoZCkmpjc No, really] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWDCpHgCNPo (may contain spoilers)].
** Also, Moe's friends Suzuko and Kotone. Come on, there ''has'' to be something going on there...
** As well as Risky and Kaede. Seriously, Risky looks devastated when she tells the part of Kaede falling for a Momotaro, she starts a full-scale ''war'' when she believes Kaede has been kidnapped (let that sink in - Risky started an entire ''war'' to get ''one'' girl back home, and the girl isn't even royalty, or that important to the tribe
{{quote|'''Risky:''' ''Bastard.'' You must have brainwashed her!}}
* [[Lucky Charms Title]]
Line 47:
** [[Blind Without'Em]]: Again, Safety.
* [[Moe]]: [[Meaningful Name|Take a wild guess.]] Applies to most of the cast, come to think of it.
* [[Naked First Impression|<s>Naked</s>
* [[Odd Couple]]: Risky and Safety, although a variation, as they don't live with each other, but [[Sharing a Body|share each other's body]].
* [[One Head Taller]]: Moe is a head taller than her boyfriend, Yuya. {{spoiler|She has to bend down a bit to kiss him in the second-to-last episode.}}
* [["On the Next Episode of..." Catchphrase]]: This changes slightly depending on who's delivering the line. Risky uses "Yoroshiku, baby!" while Safety reads the line straighter, but adds a polite and formal "[[Verbal Tic|desu no]]" to the end.
* [[Purple Eyes]]: Risky. Moe too, but hers are more bluish.
* [[Sharing a Body]]: The gimmick behind the series.
Line 57:
* [[Shout-Out]]s:
** Episode 8: "[[Golgo 13|Sniper Risky 13]]"
** Episode 13: "... like [[
** Episode 14:
*** The entire episode is a shout-out to the Legend of [[w:Momotarō|Momotarō]].
Line 66:
*** Safety's "Ama Kakeru Tenshi no Hirameki Cathartic Wave" is suspiciously similar to "[[Rurouni Kenshin|Ama Kakeru Ryu no Hirameki]]".
** Episode 19: Terry shares an outfit, verbal tic, and favourite food with [[Fatal Fury|Terry Bogard]].
* [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]:
* [[Sweet Dreams Fuel]]: This is definitely a "healing" anime.
* [[The Woobie]]: Fazzy, in her little arc. Arguably Moe as well.
Line 73:
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: It seems that Risky has a thing for chocolate kisses.
* [[Tsundere]]: Risky, arguably.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: Safety ends most of her sentences with the archaic ''desu no''.
* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]: It's not obvious that Risky is female at first glance. Maybe that's why she's often [[Les Yay|shipped with Safety]].
